Join a Team Where Your Nursing Skills Are Truly Valued

Are you a confident and proactive RVN who thrives in theatre and wants to do more than just the basics? At Cherrydown Vets, we’re offering more than just a nursing role - we’re offering a place where your experience, ideas, and career ambitions matter.

We're a close-knit team of 10, including 8 RVNs (with one PCA and one additional care assistant), working together in a modern, spacious hospital environment. Our nurses are empowered to use their full skill set and encouraged to expand it.

What You Can Expect Day-to-Day

* A diverse and hands-on nursing role, with a focus on theatre, diagnostics, and specialised nurse-led clinics
* Involvement in Schedule 3 procedures such as stitch-ups, lump removals, and scale & polish
* A rotation through lab, prep, theatre, and kennel shifts, plus a daily clinic nurse rota
* Minimal administrative tasks - our client care team handles insurance, pharmacy, and routine booking, so you can focus on what you love: nursing
* Regular client interaction, including estimates, pre-ops, admits, discharges, and follow-up calls - with many procedures fully nurse-led

We’re proud to be part of the Linnaeus family, where support, inclusion, and development are embedded into everything we do.
